Yesterday we had to say Goodbye to our wonderful lab Riley. Riley has been with us since the girls were 3 and 5. They are now 15 and 17. 12 years of friendship from a dog who’s only fault was to love us unconditionally.

This was by far one of the hardest things we have had to do as a family.

We spent the day together and had pizza for lunch; Riley’s favorite: DiGiorno…he was a simple man, nothing fancy. Our wonderful vet came to our home and we said our goodbyes.

Here are a few pictures that I would like to share with you. If you are not a animal lover you may not understand how difficult this was for us. That’s OK. I just needed to share this, because our home feels empty without him, because he was always a friend and a protector, because he loved us unconditionally…as we did him.

Riley’s favorite sleeping position…so sexy!

Riley sleeping with Bear. She gave him this blanket to be with him in his final resting place.

This is the day we brought Cooper home, look at Riley’s face…he’s thrilled! 😉
